I personally think the rules work... in the test race, some tests/drivers used it as a proper endurance race and were respectful every second of every lap.... these drivers and teams did not cause any problems... it was the people who came in and used this race with a sprint race/pickup race mentality that really caused most of the issues i think (and thnakdgod it happened here in the test race rather than in the first round proper)
I do however have a suggestion regarding the pace car, i think it will be less of an issue at other tracks (purely as BL1 is soo short with lap times) that less driver will be lapped but also in the longer races drivers will be further apart and hopefully with every team/driver adopting the enduro race mindset there will be less SC period and less needless crashes as a result of it.
OK, so my suggestion, take a car that has a speed limiter that way the saftey car can once its picked up the leader at a steady 80kph the problems i saw where very similar to the fuji f1 race in japan, where the cars speed up and sloowed down following the erratic speed of the safe car (BTW no problem with your driving here Kaw
)
Also this method could easily get the field together in less than half a lap, people can also use their limiter and when the green flag RCM is announce, all people do is drop the limiter>> good idea or rubbish one?
A question would also be to the team managers, how did they handle the race, where they in remote, did they have voice driver communication ?
At Concept, we have both drivers in one channel allong with the reserve drivers but also a 'race director' using LFS remote.
We could in an instant let the driver know when the safety car was deployed, when it was going back in, where the safety car was, what the pack was doing. all things which meant our driver was informed as best as he could be... did or do other teams do the same thing to ensure, safe, clean, responsible driving/race management by their team??

why is it too slow, you'll recover the accident in one lap and get the field together quicker.
. The problem with pit limiters is:
